I have intended to reply to a similar thread before, but I was still too traumatized. Of course, I have experienced many traumatic experiences, but this is different from the others in a special way. I washed my mother-in-law's balcony glasses when she moved and witnessed a fatal accident between a car and a pedestrian from the balcony. All those sounds were enough to make me temporarily deaf. It was strange to see the ambulance and police with flashing lights but everything was quiet. My husband's friend who was helping with the move was the first to talk to me, but I couldn't hear him at all. My husband's speech and presence brought me out of my dissociative deafness. I can still hear the thumps in my head that were heard when a car ran over a person completely. I received acute trauma therapy, but writing about it still feels difficult.

this post deleted the actual suicidal content part-- the scariest moment of my life was when i was about to commit and was leaning out of my window (on the fourteenth floor) and had second thoughts.
